RESOLUTION NO. 2011-071 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS; AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH HAYTER ENGINEERING, INC. TO STUDY THE FEASIBLILITY OF UPGRADING THE RAW WATER PUMP STATION AT PAT MAYSE LAKE; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, there are numerous issues that need to be addressed concerning the raw water pump station at Pat Mayse Lake. The current flow rate from Pat Mayse to the water treatment plant is 26 MGD, half of the 55 MGD that the City has the right to take from the lake. There is only a single electric feed to the station. If this power is lost, an immediate shut down of large water users must begin immediately. Other potential problems are outlined in the letter from Mike Tibbets, attached hereto as Exhibit "A". WHEREAS, this request to proceed is prompted by preliminary discussions with a local industry for the purchase of raw water. It would not be prudent to enter into a contract to supply significant raw water quantities without addressing these issues. WHEREAS, the agreement for professional services attached hereto as Exhibit "B", should in all things, be approved, and the City Manager should be authorized to execute all necessary documents related to this Proposal. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS, THAT: Section 1. The findings set out in the preamble to this resolution are hereby in all things approved. Section 2. that the City Manager be, and is hereby directed and authorized to execute an Agreement for Professional Services with Hayter Engineering, Inc. for preliminary phase engineering related to upgrading of the pump station at Lake Pat Mayse, in a form similar to the contract proposal attached hereto attached as Exhibit "B". Section 3. This resolution shall be effective immediately upon passage.
